The best Indy game since The Fate of Atlantis and The Emperor's Tomb. Really hope this becomes a series of games. 1. Insane attention to detail (actually features a full fledged museum with detailed exhibits and actual descriptions for almost every item). 2. Brilliant sound design. Sounds exactly like the movies! Voice acting is excellent as well. Troy Baker actually pulls off a really good Harrison Ford. 3. Stealth is basic, but effective and rewarding. Think Chronicles of Riddick, Alien Isolation or a stripped down Thief. 4. Hand to hand combat is visceral and impactful. You can feel the weight of every punch thanks to the animation and sound. 5. Exploration genuinely adds to the sense of adventure and actually rewards you. 6. Extremely respectful to the depicted cultures and their history as well as native languages. 7. Runs really well on my setup (Ryzen 7 7800x3d / RTX 4070S / 32GB DDR5). Only issues I have with it thus far: 1. Visual artifacts during some cuts cutscenes. (Has been patched since release on Steam) 2. Lack of manual save option. 3. Side activites do become somewhat repetitive.

An incredibly charming and gorgeous albiet janky at times stealth game. The small development team managed to to capture the enduring charm of the likes of Redwall and Mouse Guard and effortlessly infuse them into a game where you are attempting to find your mate in a hostile fort. Combat is nonexistant as everything will and can kill you! Get it if you're into exploration, stealth and very minimal hand holding.
Quit taffin' around and get it!

This is basically a System Shock-ish retro FPS with a bit of Descent thrown in. I'm just over 2 hours in and these are my thoughts so far. Pros: - Nails the visual style it was going for. - The drizzle of immersive sim elements are welcome. - The ability to use two different weapons at the same time. - Modifying a weapon changes the appearance of said weapon. - Atmosphere can be chilling on certain levels. Cons: - Ranged weapons seem underpowered and some have awful spread. - Hitscanning enemies. - Enemy AI boils down to them walking in a straight line towards you. I've seen plenty of enemies simply walk into walls. - Weapons don't feel or sound punchy or meaty enough.
